    Will (plastic / Vinyl) Fencing Keep Semi-ferals In The Yard?

    Thanks again everyone! Lots of good ideas here! Wife has had the flu (despite having had the shot) for 3+ weeks, Grandmother (105 years old) had to go to the hospital... She's hanging in there. Anyway, been really busy here lately, but I wanted you all to know that I appreciate your...

    Will (plastic / Vinyl) Fencing Keep Semi-ferals In The Yard?

    Thanks for your reply! If I need the overhang even on an 8' Vinyl fence, maybe I should save a few thousand dollars and just go with wood?

    Will (plastic / Vinyl) Fencing Keep Semi-ferals In The Yard?

    Thanks for the replies everyone! I know that they can easily climb a wood fence of any height, which is why I am considering 8' vinyl, with the horizontal supports on the outside. The material is like a thick, smooth, hard plastic. String trimmers don't damage it so I'm thinking that they...

    Will (plastic / Vinyl) Fencing Keep Semi-ferals In The Yard?

    Hi Folks! Been a looooong time since I've posted... Really long story. Hope everyone and their Kitties are doing well! Anyway, we are considering moving, but within a couple of miles away. I know that some Kitties have a tendency to try to return "home." It would permanently scar me if one...

    Peas? Potato Starch? Fish Meal? Yikes!

    Thanks for your reply. One of my kitties had urinary tract issues on GF dry, so they all eat canned food now, with a few kibbles of California Natural Chicken and brown rice thrown in to give them some jaw stimulation. Thanks again!

    Issues with Natural Balance

    Wow, so sad... not the pebbles so much, but that Del Monte bought Natural Balance. (Although I trust them more than P&G, and I still feed EVO every day.) I wonder if the cases that expire in the middle of 2016 (selling now) were made prior to the takeover? Anyone know an easy way to find out...

    Worst Pet Food Ingredients

    I agree... there are some very unusual "takes" on some of the ingredients.    The "ugh" regarding the water is one of my favorites!

    Worst Pet Food Ingredients

    Wow, I thought I had a pretty good handle on this topic... then, I decided to do a search on Dicalcium Phosphate - lots of conflicting info out there on this, but many of our "favorite" brands use this ingredient.     Warning: If you are really obsessive about what you feed your Kitties...

    Urinary S0 combined with another brand of dry food??

    Good points! The Merrick Beef, Lamb, and Buffalo is for dogs, but it does not have any ingredients that are bad for cats. It doesn't have taurine, but I mix it half & half with Evo, and I only feed one can (of 27 cans total) per week, so it is a tiny percentage of their total diet.

    Urinary S0 combined with another brand of dry food??

    You are very welcome. The Evo and Merrick are both grain free as well.

    New diet after crystals nightmare

    Oh, just thought I should mention... my Boy who got Blocked was only getting around 20 to 30 pieces of kibble per day... I thought for sure that was "safe" but not in his case. I have recently started to add about 5 pieces once per day to his wet food, as my Wife feels strongly that the...

    New diet after crystals nightmare

    Wow - oddly, I also have a Girl with GI issues - she has been doing fine on Evo, but I have noticed that there is some gas from a few of them after I feed the Duck version... it is really $$ anyway, so I rarely buy it. Please take a look at this post / thread as well for a few other tips.  ...

    High-Quality canned food for cats

    Wow, having to avoid Chicken would be a nightmare for me... EVO 95% Chicken & Turkey makes up around 50% of my Kitties' diet. If there is any chance the stomach upset your Kitty was having was just due to the grains, or perhaps some other ingredient that we aren't even considering, I...

    Merrick Before Grain no longer avail. in stores???

    I agree completely. We loved the #5 Quail. I ran around to the local Petco stores and bought up all of their #5, #1 and #3 cans when they put them on clearance, but we are almost completely out of them all now. Had I known that the "New" Line would not be anywhere near as good, I would have...

    New diet after crystals nightmare

    Obviously this is not scientific, but I have serious doubts that Blue Buffalo in and of itself causes Uninary Tract issues. I fed BB to 5 Kitties for over 5 years with absolutely no problems. We only had troubles after switching to 100% Grain Free, to include a few other very reputable brands...

    Urinary S0 combined with another brand of dry food??

    Long story, but I have a FLUTD Kitty who got blocked and had to have a catheter, etc... Rather than going with Prescription Dry, I read through Dr Pierson's site (that Laurie reccomended) and decided to feed him exclusively low carb canned food with warm water mixed in. I use all 4 of the EVO...

    Merrick Before Grain no longer avail. in stores???

    I went through the same disappointment, but sadly, it is true... Before Grain canned cat food is gone. I feed EVO 95% Chicken & Turkey and occasionally the other 95% EVO Flavors. My Kitties don't like the one type of Evo that isn't "95%" I had experimented with Merrick 96% DOG food cans, but...

    Anyone feed friskies canned?

    Hi and welcome KansasGuest! I would skip the Royal Canin, not worth the money. Avoid corn and wheat. EVO 95 percent is probably similar to Sheba in price, and is much better quality. Please read the forums and articles and think about becoming a member!

    Anyone feed friskies canned?

    I second using Pate as opposed to shreds - better ingredients as Willowy stated above. Also second using Poultry Platter - Friskies or Grreat choice, buy both whenever they are on sale. "My" Ferals LOVE them!   I think the other flavors that LDG mentioned are about the best they have to...

    Cat Food Help

    Most of the high quality foods are the pate type, but you can always (as I do) add a litle warm water to it, and mix it up just until it is the consistency he prefers.
